No disrespect to you, because you seem quite devoted...but Bernie Sanders seriously doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning. Even Biden will quickly out pace him as soon as he gets in.
I know you'd like him to win, but it just ain't going to happen. This country will never elect an openly socialist President.

Not true.
I'm in the middle and I support him.
He's the only non establishment candidate in the bunch, and the first one in years maybe even ever, to spark so much public interest.
I like his brashness. I like that he doesn't pander to anyone. I like that he isn't afraid to alienate a lobbyist, because he doesn't need them.
He's a breath of fresh air in what has otherwise become the frustratingly divisive politics of today.
He at least speaks his mind, without thinking "Wait, i can't say that because so and so will stop giving me money!" He has no filter.
He's leading for those reasons. It's simple really, people are tired of politics as usual.

The very factors which had stacked the deck in favor of the left are now becoming hazards that can turn the populace rightward again. If it happens once, the left will be crushed forever. The increasingly socialist and globalist policies of the post-WWII era have done nothing but tear at the fabric of society. For a time, people were distracted by the increase in material wealth which accompanied the modern era, but the destruction of the middle class is making it harder and harder for people to fail to notice the fraying strands that bind the country together. One term with a strong nationalist, conservative candidate will put out all doubt from the minds of the people. They'll see that it wasn't just the corruption and special interest politics dragging down the country, but also the subversion of morals leaking out from liberal academia.

Ricky Martin says "Trump makes my 'blood boil' "
Ricky Martin is calling on Hispanics to unite together against Donald Trump, saying the GOP presidential candidate’s “absurd, incoherent, and ignorant comments” make his “blood boil.”
“From the beginning, [Trump’s] intent has been clear: To basically tell lies and offend us to stay in the public spotlight,” the Puerto Rican-born “Livin’ La Vida Loca” singer writes in a blistering op-ed on Fusion.net published Wednesday night.
But.....wait - the minorities are going to love him. Right?

This rant, especially the last paragraph, might be better in the original German. I think I can hear the whine of the loudspeakers, see the flicker of the torches, and see the massed throngs saluting with outstretched arms....
Seriously, did you consider EXACTLY who this sounds like? You hit it all – the leftists must be “crushed”, “destruction” of the middle class, nationalism, the strong “leader” who will “ put out all doubt from the minds of the people,” disdain for academics...Do you know what you are doing?

He is also energizing a large section of the population who generally do not vote. People who have had enough of career politicians and politicians in general. It's a long way off and a toss up. It's up for him to lose at this point. The dems don't have a strong candidate if Hillary is brought down.
Really not a put down of you or politics or support of trump but I honestly do not care what Rickey Martin, Kim Kardashian or even Clint Eastwood thinks about politicians. You people are the highly paid court jesters. Go entertain. I know a lot of people do care if an entertainer thinks like they do, I am not one of them
